Apple MMMQ3 Magic Mouse
Welcome to your Magic Mouse
Your Magic Mouse has a rechargeable battery and uses Bluetooth® technology to connect wirelessly to your Mac.
This guide shows you how to use your Magic Mouse, including pairing, customization, and recharging the battery.
Update your software
To use your Magic Mouse and its full range of features, update your Mac to the latest version of macOS.
To check for updates to macOS, choose Apple menu > System Settings > General > Software Update (or Apple menu
System Preferences > Software Update).
Set up your Magic Mouse
To pair your mouse with your Mac, use the USB-C Charge Cable that came with your mouse. Plug one end of the cable into the USB-C port on the bottom of your mouse. Plug the other end into a USB-C port on your Mac. Slide the on/off switch to on (so green is visible).
Your mouse will pair automatically with your Mac.
After the mouse is paired, disconnect the cable to use your mouse wirelessly.
Customize your Magic Mouse
Your Magic Mouse has a Multi-Touch surface you can use to click, tap, slide, or swipe.
To customize your mouse:
- Choose Apple menu
System Settings (or System Preferences), then click Mouse.
- Click Point & Click to choose from the following options:
- Tracking speed: Drag the slider to adjust how quickly the pointer moves when you move the Magic Mouse.
- Natural scrolling: Turn on this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
- Secondary click: Choose the side of the mouse to click to secondary (or Control) click items on your screen.
- Smart zoom: Turn on this option to double-tap with one finger to zoom in or out.

- Swipe between full-screen applications: Turn on this option to swipe left or right with two fingers to move between apps in full screen.
Mission Control: Turn on this option to double-tap with two fingers to enter Mission Control.
- Click Advanced to turn on pointer acceleration. When this option is on, the pointer moves faster for fast mouse movements and more precisely for slow mouse movements.
Recharge the battery
Use the USB-C Charge Cable that came with your mouse. Plug one end of the cable into the USB-C port on the bottom of your mouse, and the other end into a USB-C port on your Mac or a USB-C power adapter.
To check the battery status, choose Apple menu System Settings (or System Preferences), then click Mouse. The battery level is shown at the top of the window (or in the lower-left corner).
Note: When you aren’t using your Magic Mouse,
it goes to sleep to conserve battery power. If you won’t be using your mouse for an extended period, turn it off to conserve even more power.
Rename your Magic Mouse
Your Mac gives your Magic Mouse a default name the first time you pair it. You can rename it in Bluetooth settings.
To rename your mouse:
- Choose Apple menu
System Settings (or System Preferences), then click Bluetooth.
- Control-click the mouse, then choose Rename.
Remove a pairing
After you pair your Magic Mouse with a Mac, you can pair it again with a different Mac. To do this, remove the existing pairing and then pair the mouse again.
To remove a pairing:
- Choose Apple menu
System Settings (or System Preferences), then click Bluetooth.
- Control-click the mouse, then choose Forget (or Remove).
